The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.

For the past ten years God has enabled me to keep a perfect, unbroken purpose to serve Him with my whole heart. No temptation has swerved that steadfast purpose. “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” (Exodus 28:36) has been my motto. My heart pants after Him and, as I seek Him in fervent, patient, believing prayer and in diligent searching of His Word, He is deepening the work of grace in my soul.
– Samuel Logan Brengle –
Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: “No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God.”
– Andrew Murray –
God gives His own self totally to us that we may offer ourselves completely to Him.
– Watchman Nee –
The holy man is not one who cannot sin. A holy man is one who will not sin.

True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.

Every now and then God prunes us. He thwarts our purposes.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
If I hate sin because of the punishment, I have not repented of sin. I merely regret that God is just.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Listen, I’m against sin. I’ll kick it as long as I’ve got a foot, I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist, I’ll butt it as long as I’ve got a head, and I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth. And when I’m old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I’ll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.
